today i bring to you: illustrating the wizards talking the only way they can talk
#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #shadowgast
digital two-panel comic illustrating an exchange between Caleb and Essek from Critical Role. it is drawn in a semi-realistic sketchy style; in the first panel, an off-camera Caleb inquires, "how high does this darkness rise?". Essek, looking up and to the side, as if recalling information, nonchalantly responds with "Oh, about a mile." in the second panel Caleb says, with an earnest and quietly awed expression, "that's fascinating", with 'fascinating' italicized to show the emphasis it was said with in-game.

a commission for @tuskteefs.bsky.social, who requested a full-render front view of Essek's outfit from a shadowbren drawing of mine, as a two-year anniversary gift and cosplay reference for @birdverbatim.bsky.social! happy anniversary, and thank you for commissioning me!

#criticalrolefanart
digital fanart of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, styled like character concept art and depicting him wearing two outfits. he looks the same in both depictions: as a slender young-looking drow with lavender skin and short white wavy hair, standing and propping a book against his side. the first outfit consists of a close-fitting teal shirt, with elaborate voluminous sleeves ending in bracer-like cuffs, a high collar, and ginkgo leaves embroidered in brown thread; tight dark-brown leggings made of reflective fabric, and grayish-green boots with lacing in the back and metallic tips. the second picture depicts a few outer layers worn over the first outfit. there is a sleeveless long brown coat visible in the opening of his cloak, worn with a wide layered sash sitting high on his waist. the cloak itself is a dark purple, edges decorated with fur, with arm openings in the sides. over the cloak, he is wearing an armor-like decorative shoulder and chest piece, iridescent white in color.

Essek's expressions in the newest episodes have been so precious that i Had to draw some of them. these are only the TIP of the iceberg of all of my favorites, but gods willing i will draw more

#criticalrolefanart #criticalrolespoilers #essekthelyss
seven sketches of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. in all of them he is depicted as a young-looking drow with long wavy hair with the bangs pinned artfully back, wearing layered robes. 1. Essek is holding a lantern in one hand and turning Ashton's head with his other hand on their chin. he is studying Ashton's glass scar intently and saying "Impossible". 2. Essek is looking off-screen with a lofty expression, elegantly gesturing with one of his hands, and saying "It's magic." 3. Essek is looking down with a slightly bashful smile. 4. Essek is tilting his head to the side with an alarmed and confused expression. 5. Essek has a quietly panicking expression on, with wide eyes and pursed lips, and is saying "Well, we fucked up." 6. Essek is doing an exaggerated shrug, hands splayed out, eyebrows raised and the corners of his mouth turned down in an amused expression. 7. Essek is looking at someone off-screen with an exasperated expression.

digital sketch of Caleb Widogast from Critical Role, styled like a pencil drawing on tan paper. he is crouching down on one knee with his hands on the ground, casting Web of Fire. he is looking somewhere out of frame with a focused expression, streaks of flame flying across the ground from his fingertips. digital sketch of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, styled like a pencil drawing on tan paper. he's depicted in a dynamic pose with his arm outstretched towards the viewer, casting Gravity Sinkhole. his chin is raised and he's looking at the viewer with an intense focused expression, his hand clenched in a fist with rays of magical energy escaping from between his fingers.

#criticalrolefanart #shadowgast
digital fanart of Caleb and Essek from Critical Role. they are depicted in the salon of Caleb's tower, lit by a fireplace somewhere off screen and a few floating balls of amber light above them. in the foreground, there is a piece of a spiral staircase visible, and just behind it a small potted apple tree; in the background there are bookshelves and a window showing a dusky teal sky. Caleb is sitting on a sofa, curled in on himself, with his head in his hands; he is wearing some of his Aeor gear: his stormrider boots, dark pants and a thin black sweater, as if he's taken off the outer layers. Essek is standing next to him, dressed in all white, with a little bit of dirt staining his boots and the bottom of his tunic; one of his hands is hovering hesitantly over Caleb's head. Caleb's underarm holster is lying on a low table in front of him; next to it, there are two books, one closed and one open, and a little piece of amber on a dark leather cord.

this one is very recent, but i never dedicated a separate post to it on bluesky & i still love it so it's gonna be part of my #repostober 💜

#criticalrolefanart #essekthelyss #verinthelyss
digital fanart of Essek and Verin Thelyss from Critical Role. both of them are drow with white hair and light purple skin; Essek has short wavy hair with the bangs swept to one side, and Verin's longer hair is braided into two french braids. they're sitting in armchairs pushed close together, presumably at a formal party, with Verin leaning over to Essek, shielding his mouth with his hand and whispering something to his brother with a smile. his posing is very laid-back, with his left ankle resting on his right knee, and he's holding a stemless wine glass in his left hand, propping it against his leg. Essek is sitting with his legs crossed, looking at something off in the distance and hiding a small smirk behind his wine glass. both of them are dressed in fancy dark layered outfits. the picture employs a limited palette of various shades of brown, purple, red, teal and lemon yellow.

more of my critical role x it's always sunny in philadelphia nonsense for #repostober 😴

#criticalrolefanart
a redraw of a scene from an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (titled 'A Very Sunny Christmas') as Critical Role characters. in the first panel Caleb, Yasha, Nott, Beau, Jester, Fjord and Caduceus are standing close to each other and looking up; everyone except for Caleb is singing, and Caduceus's head is out of frame due to how much taller he is than everyone else. in the second panel, Essek is looking out of the window of his tower, leaning on the windowsill with his elbows. He is rubbing the bridge of his nose in frustration, and is saying "What are you doing? It's 4 o'clock in the morning". His hair is in disarray and he is wearing a loose sleeping shirt.
